Michael Podolinsky TakeOut Comedy Club Singapore Open Mic 210709

Mike Podolinsky TakeOut Comedy Club Singapore Open Mic 210709

TakeOut Comedy presents the FIRST and ONLY Stand Up Comedy Open Mic in Singapore.

I watched a TV series years ago on PBS back in OOOSA with grand master of comedy Alan King interviewing the funniest comics in Las Vegas and Hollywood. He asked, “Is going crude and dirty necessary?” A young comic said, “No…. but it sure helps.”

Then Tim Conway, the Emmy Award winning star, movie star and stand up pro said, “No, I think it hurts.”

Alan King said, “That sounds like a challenge.” The two comics faced off against each other. The young guy used ’shock and awe’ tactics, F’in this and F’in that. He got a big laugh albeit nervous laugh. (this WAS public television)

Then Tim Conway gets up and tells a joke; clean as a whistle. He massages it, stair steps it, works it, builds, repeats, builds and BAM… they could not stop laughing for 90 seconds or more and then clapped for another 30 seconds; eclipsing the other ‘comic’ with more laughter and applause than he had gotten INCLUDING his joke time.

Just after 20 years in Singapore, I’ve really grown to love the fact that I can have dinner with my family in almost any restaurant, coffee shop or tavern or sit in a bus and not hear raw sewage spewed out from the mouth of the guy behind me or at the next table. I LOVE the idea of comedy coming to Singapore.

To me, after 20 years in living in a really clean Singapore environment, I was shocked that this is what the English language has evolved into. My personal measure is simply, “Are our words uplifting and improving the world we live in?”

3 Ways to Add Romance to Your Life

3 Ways to Add Romance to Your Life

Amore` or romance or passion is almost universally sought after yet rarely achieved. We may fall in love and even get married, but is the fire still there?

Speaker friend, Patricia Fripp tells a story of old grandma and grandpa nearing their farm and pass a young couple kissing passionately in a parked car by the side of the road. Grandma says to grandpa, `Remember when we used to sit that close in this old truck?` Grandpa replies, `Well, I am not the one who moved!`

IF you have someone special in your life, is there any way you have `moved` away from him or her? If you do not have someone special, have you moved away from getting close to people and are avoiding intimacy? Here are 3 ways to add romance to your life:

#1 Work at it. If your spouse likes gifts, buy a little token today and bring it home. If your spouse likes love notes, write one now before you forget. If the person you love is struggling with work, career or family, pay special attention to him or her and ask questions. Your interest and concern speaks volumes about your love, opening up hearts and minds.

#2 Seek it. Look for opportunities to get away with your sweetheart, just the two of you, even if only for an evening or a day or two. Turn the TV off and sit and talk. Sometimes, going to a coffee shop for this is easier than at home as it breaks the `same-old-pattern` syndrome. Maybe start the conversation with, `I maybe have not told you or shown you lately, but I want you to know, how much I love you.`

#3 Be creative. Compose a song and sing it. Put him in his favourite chair and dance for him. Give her a one-hour head to toe massage. Feed each other and fill in between bites with a kiss or caress. Fill the tub with bubble bath and take a bath together. (saves water!) Smile at him or her and hold it until the other asks why. Then say, `Even after all this time, I just love to sit and look at you.`

NONE of this costs any big money. ALL of it adds to enjoyment and romance for both parties involved. Got comments or questions?  Just leave your comments here.
